Chapter 7: Enter the Synchro Dimension!

-YUKI'S POV-

I opened my eyes and I found myself in a what looked like a city slum. Complete with dirty streets, rundown buildings and rats running across the floor. "Wow this place is a dump. Kind of reminds me of when I was little."

I noticed that Yuya, Sawatari, Serena, and Reira were with me. "Oh great so I'm stuck with the kid, the fusion duelist, and the two most annoying people on the team. At least Dennis isn't here."

"So this is the Synchro dimension. Not quite what I imagined." I said

"Yeah this place looks and smells dump not to mention completely deserted." Sawatari complained

"Not to pile on but it seems we've been separated from the others." Said Serena

"Hey guys look up there." Yuya said pointing up

I looked up and saw what seemed to be an entirely different world. Even from down here I could what was above was much more preferable to what was down here.

"Maybe going up top is the best way to find the others." Yuya suggested

"Worth a shot I guess." I said

As we started walking I heard a police siren, "Oh what now?"

Two police cars stopped on both in front and behind us. Three officers from both vehicles got out as they did our left and right exists were covered by giant stone slabs with eye balls on them.

"This is security. We have you surrounded surrender or face the consequences!"

"What the Yuki what did you do?" Asked Sawatari

"Why are you blaming me!?"

"Well you're an actual criminal" he answered back

"Oh that is very offensive."

"You five are all under arrest." Said one of the officers

"Why exactly?" I asked

"Don't play dumb you Commons scum. You've been wanted for trespassing since last night!"

"Last night, but we just got here not even five minutes ago." I said

"Yeah he's right" said Yuya

As they did a large screen appeared in front of us showing Yugo and the pink haired girl known as Yuzu.

"Wait a minute... YUGO IF THIS IS YOUR FAULT I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" I thought

Yuya then tried to smooth things over the cops but it didn't go so well.

"We aren't here to cause trouble. We're just looking for our friends." Yuya said trying to negotiate. Unfortunately these officers seemed to have a one track mind and were dead set on arresting us.

"I'm telling you we haven't done anything we just got here." Yuya said trying to keep the peace

"Likely story. Now either come peacefully or we will take you all to the facility by force."

I stepped in front of Yuya, "Listen bub, I don't what you're on about but I can assure you it has nothing to do with us. Now unless you've got some sort of death wish get out of my face before I get angry." I said to them readying my battle claws. Yuya put his hand on my shoulder.

"Hey Yuki I don't think that's helping. Also put the claws away we don't need you going on a homicide rampage right away." Yuya said, I deactivated my gauntlets as a response.

"Arrest them!" The officers all activated their duel disks. Okay I'll admit threatening them was not my best idea. Then to make matters even worse Reira started running away. I knew bringing a child into battle was a bad idea. Fortunately Yuya grabbed him, and Sawatari being his egotistical annoying self, decided to walk in front of me and do this...

"Stand aside Yuki and watch a real duelist in action." He said activating his duel disk.

"I activate the action field Crossover!"

A duel field was activated and several blue platforms appeared.

---

-MEANWHILE IN SECURITY HEADQUARTERS-

A room filled with many people and computers is seen and at the head of it was a pale-skinned man with a long nose, green eyes, and ash-blonde hair that is neatly combed and arranged on top of his head, but flares out into short wings at the back of his skull. He was dressed in simple, yet expensive clothes, wearing a closed knee-length purple coat that is held shut by silver clasps over an orange collared shirt. His coat has an orange lining and patterns that cause him to appear as if he is wearing a second shorter coat over his long coat. Roget also wears grey dress pants and black dress shoes.

"Sir there is an error in the system. A field card program has been activated that the system can't recognize." Said a person at one of the monitors.

"Fix the problem immediately." Said the pale skinned man, just then the crossover card was displayed on screen in front of the man.

"Hmm. Very interesting." He said turning his attention back to the duel.

---

-Back to the duel-

An officer walked up from behind me.

"Last chance obey and surrender peacefully or resist and suffer." He said

"I don't take orders from you and I don't do peaceful." I said as I activated my duel disk.

"Come to think of it. I don't think I've ever seen Yuki duel before." Thought Serena

DUEL!

Yuki: (LP: 4000) (hand: 5) (field: 0)

Security: (LP: 4000) (hand: 5) (field: 0)

Just as my duel got started I heard an explosion. I turned around and saw that Sawatari had already been defeated.

"Oh come on really Sawatari! You couldn't last like thirty seconds." I said to him

"I got unlucky, shut up!" He retorted as he got cuffed.

"Yeah right." I muttered

Another cop walked next to my opponent, "With your friend out of the way let's see how you handle two of us."

"I believe I have the first move." Said Security

"I summon Vigilant Zeni." A small samurai looking monster with a coin for an eye patch appeared.

(Vigilant Zeni: LVL 4/WARRIOR/EARTH/ATK 1600/DEF 1200)

"With its effect I can lower its ATK to zero and summon another monster to join it on the field. So I play Vigilante Gata." Now a small police themed robot appeared with police car lights on its head that acted like horns.

(Vigilante Gata: LVL 3/WARRIOR/TUNER/EARTH/ATK 800/DEF 800)

"Next I tune level 3 Vigilante Gata and level 4 Vigilante Zeni!"

Gata turned into 3 green rings and Zeni into 4 blue stars that went into the rings.

"Synchro Shoukan! Appear! Level 7 Marksman Heiji Type 0!" A male geisha looking robot with an orange kimono and a blaster strapped to his arm appeared from the pillar of light.

(Marksman Heiji Type 0: LVL 7/WARRIOR/SYNCHRO/EARTH/ATK 2400/DEF 2000)

"Turn over."

"A synchro monster right away huh. Well nothing my hunters can't handle."

"My turn. I draw! I summon Vigilant Zeni." A small samurai looking monster with a coin for an eye patch appeared.

"With its effect I can lower its ATK to zero and summon another monster to join it on the field. So I play Vigilante Gata." Now a small police themed robot appeared with police car lights on its head that acted like horns.

"Next I tune level 3 Vigilante Gata and level 4 Vigilante Zeni!"

Gata turned into 3 green rings and Zeni into 4 blue stars that went into the rings.

"Synchro Shoukan! Appear! Level 7 Marksman Heiji Type 0!" The same monster as before appeared.

"Really the same monster again. Would kill you guys to be a little more original." I said to them

"You talk too much kid, this'll shut you up. Now attack him directly!" The monster shot electrified coins but I jumped into the air and grabbed an action card.

"I activate the action spell Evasion! This card negates you're attack!"

"What the heck was that. Oh well I end my turn."

As I prepared for my turn I saw Yuya trying to get Reira out of the line of fire. That is actually the responsible thing to do right now. I would of complimented Yuya on that if he wasn't fighting a security officer and Marksman Heiji Type 0 with an army of FREAKIN DANCING CIRCUS HIPPOS! I mean seriously is the idea to annoy his opponent to death. Not that it even mattered since Type 0's effect destroyed them all and cost Yuya almost all of his LPs.

"Yuya took a big hit because of his circus act but at least he got his opponent to reveal Type 0's effect."

"I draw! And first I activate my Frozen Ritual spell card, with this card I Ritual Summon any WATER Ritual Monster I want as long as I tribute monsters from my hand or field whose total Levels are equal or more the Level of the Ritual Monster I summon. So now I sacrifice from my hand; LVL 4 FrozenHunterSaberTiger and LVL 2 Frozen Hunter Glacial Reaper."

Two creatures appeared from the cards one was a white saber tooth tiger with sharp fangs made of ice, blade like spines on its back also made of ice appeared and a blade like tail appeared and had blood red eyes. The other was a cold white skeleton whose entire body was covered by a dark icy blue robe and was holding a large sickle with a blade made of ice.

The two monster were then consumed in a blizzard that went into an upward spiral. From that blizzard a pair of red eyes and a silhouette figure could be seen.

(Frozen Hunter Saber Tiger: LVL 4/WATER/Beast/1600 ATK/1000 DEF)

(Frozen Hunter Glacial Reaper: LVL 2/WATER/ZOMBIE/ATK 400/DEF 0)

"Savage beast of the frozen north and one who reaps the souls of those trapped within the eternal blizzard! Become the offerings to the wolf that hungers for destruction! RITUAL SHOUKAN! ARISE! LVL 6 FROZEN HUNTER FENRIR!" As I finished chanting a large wolf appeared out of the blizzard. It had white fur, red eyes, golden armor, and fangs with an ice blue glow. Letting loose a powerful howl.

(Frozen Hunter Fenrir: Level 6/Beast/Ritual/Water/ATK 2400/DEF 2000)

"A ritual monster!?" Exclaimed one of the securities

"So this is Yuki's deck type." Said Yuya

"An impressive looking monster. Time to join the battle. I summon Lunalight Blue Cat!" Serena summoned a blue humanoid cat.

(Lunalight Blue Cat: LVL 4/BEAST WARRIOR/DARK/ATK 1600/DEF 1200)

"I end my turn with a face down."

As both Yuya and Serena continued with their duels I continued with mine.

"I activate the spell Ritual of Greed, since I have a ritual monster on my field I can draw three cards from my deck but then I must discard one." I drew my cards and then continued.

"Now I activate the equip spell Frozen Blades Nightcrackle." As I activated my card two giant ice blue swords that extended like wings attached themselves to Fenrir's armor.

"But what the point of an equip spell that doesn't raise your monster's ATK in this situation. All of our monsters have 2400 ATK you can't destroy them without destroying your own monster." Said one of the securities.

"We'll see. Now commencing battle phase and as such Glacial Reaper's effect activates; since Reaper was used as ritual material to summon a WATER Ritual monster like Fenrir, starting now until the end of my battle phase, Fenrir's ATK gets doubled."

"What's that!?" Said one security

"Impossible!" Said the other

(Frozen Hunter Fenrir: ATK 2400x2=4800)

"4800 ATK from just one effect!" Said Sawatari

"Yuki sure knows what he's doing." Yuya commented

"Frozen Hunter Fenrir attack Marksman Heiji Type 0! At this moment Fenrir's effect activates; when battling an enemy monster add 600 ATK for the duration of the battle! LUNAR FROST FANG STRIKE!"

(Frozen Hunter Fenrir: ATK 4800+600=5400)

"Seriously!" Said one of the opponents

Fenrir's claws, fangs as well as his new blades all lite up as the wolf charged at his opponent and tore right through it.

Security: (LP: 4000-3000=1000)

"You punk! I'll make you pay for that when I send you to the Facility!" The cop said in frustration

"I don't think you will. Because now I'm activating the effect of Frozen Blades Nightcrackle!" As I declared the activation the blades created by said spell lite up again and started pointing at the destroyed monster's owner.

"With this card's effect whenever Fenrir destroys an opponent's monster that said monster's level is then dealt to you as damage times 200."

"WHAT!" The cop said before the two swords fire off a giant blue laser at him taking him out of the duel.

Security: (LP: 1000-1400=0)

"One turn kill." Said the other officer

"Now to get rid of you."

"Wait you're not done?"

"Nope because when Fenrir destroys an opponent's monster in battle he gets to attack again which will reactivate my one turn kill combo."

Fenrir attacked the other Type 0 and with that Nightcrackle activated and that was all she wrote.

Security: (LP: 4000-3000=1000)

Security: (LP: 1000-1400=0)

"Alright whose next!" I declared as Fenrir snarled at more officers approaching. As I prepared to take on my opponents Serena was preparing to finish hers off.

"Two opponents down in a single turn. Yuki really is a vicious opponent." Said Serena "However it is a bit concerning that he reminds me a little of him."

"I activate the spell Polymerization and fuse the Lunalight Blue Cat with the Lunalight Purple Butterfly." Blue Cat along with a purple humanoid butterfly swirled together into a vortex as Serena began to chant.

"The cat that prowls in the azure darkness and the butterfly that wields poison. Swarm in the vortex of the moons gravity and revive with a new power! YUGO (FUSION) SHOUKAN! Show yourself, the beautiful beast dancing in the moonlight! Lunalight Cat Dancer!"

(Lunalight Purple Butterfly: LVL 3/BEAST-WARRIOR/DARK/ATK 1000/DEF 1000)

(Lunalight Cat Dancer: LVL 7/BEAST-WARRIOR/FUSION/DARK/ATK 2400/DEF 2000)

From the vortex a new cat themed monster emerged. The female figure had long red hair, a blue dress that resembled that of a dancer's and holding two daggers.

"What's a fusion summon?"

---

"Both Ritual and Fusion." Said the pale skinned man.

"Have any nearby security units provide additional support."

---

"I activate the spell Lunalight Perfume, which allows me to summon Blue Cat back from my graveyard."

The blue humanoid cat returned through a blue mist.

"Special Summoning Blue Cat triggers her effect doubling Cat Dancer's ATK."

(Lunalight Cat Dancer: ATK 2400X2=4800)

"Next I activate Cat Dancer's effect; by tributing Blue Cat my Cat Dancer can attack each of your monsters twice." As Serena explained as Blue Cat vanished and Cat Dancer did a double attack on security's monster taking out all of his LPs.

Just then the holographic walls disappeared and more officers showed up

"Grr, at this rate they'll overwhelm us."

"We have you completely surrounded."

"Great can this get any worse." I thought in frustration. Just as Fenrir and I prepared for the next wave I noticed a flash of blue light behind me.

"Any idea what that is master?" Asked Fenrir through our mental link

"Yup and it's about damn time." I responded

Yuya was just about to pendulum summon. "Swing, pendulum of souls! Draw an arc of light across the ether! Pendulum Shoukan! Appear now! My monsters! Performapal Cheermole, Performapal Drummerilla, and Performapal Trumpanda!" What emerged from the portal was something I wasn't prepared for. First was a pink mole with starry eyes and a cheerleader's outfit, next was a gorilla fused with a drum set wearing a top hat, and lastly was a panda who also had a top hat with starry eyes playing a tuba.

Performapal Cheermole: (EARTH/Beast/Pendulum/LVL 2/Scale 5/ATK 600/DEF 1000)

Performapal Trumpanda: (EARTH/Beast/Pendulum/LVL 3/Scale 3/ATK 800/DEF 800)

Performapal Drummerilla: (EARTH/Beast/Pendulum/LVL 5/Scale 2/ATK 1600/DEF 900)

"Really Yuya what's next a parade or a musical?" I said sarcastically

Instead of answering Yuya motioned for me to come closer. So I used my ninja like jumping skills and landed right next to him.

"Please tell me you have a plan Yuya."

"I do, I'm going to distract the cops and create an opening to escape during which I want you to take Reira, Serena and Sawatari." He said with a serious face.

"This guy really plans on sacrificing him to help the rest of us. No matter if Yuya gets captured I can just bust him out wouldn't be the first time I've had to pull a rescue mission." I only nodded in response.

"I activate the spell Performance Hurricane! With this I can target cards my opponent controls, up to the number of "Performapal" monsters I control and return them to the hand." Yuya explained as he did not only did all of his monsters start dancing but so did Marksman Heiji Type 0 as this happened I jumped up and landed behind the officer holding Sawatari taking him by surprise and then judo throwed him into the ground knocking unconscious.

"D-Did you just K.O a grown man in just one move, HOW?" Asked Sawatari in shock and slightly afraid.

"I'll explain later but first hold still." I said as I used one of my battle claws to manifest a throwing blade.

"Wait what are you doing?"

"Be very still this will be over in just a second." As I said that I use the blade to cut off the handcuffs while Sawatari screamed like a little girl.

"Okay all done." I said nonchalant

"You're a complete psycho man! Why did Reiji even let you keep those?!" Screamed Sawatari

"Part of our agreement."

"Now Serena we have to get moving now. Yuya can't distract them forever."

"No way! I'm not retreating like some coward!"

"I never thought I'd say this but I have found someone even more stubborn than Shina."

"Serena don't make me have incapacitate you." I said in a threatening tone

"Is that a threat." She retorted glaring back at me

"Can this day get any worse?" Asked Sawatari

As we argued Vigilante Gata and Vigilante Zeni blocked our escape route. Oh great Serena stubbornness has gotten us into more trouble. "Fenrir clear a path!" However just as I ordered my monster to attack Fenrir was destroyed by some voltaic coins via Type 0's effect.

"To answer your question Sawatari yes, yes it can."

We were all surrounded pushed back by the enemies overwhelming numbers. The only thing protecting us were the three circus animals Yuya had out.

"It's official we're doomed."

Just then the sky got dark and the sound of thunder could be heard.

I then heard another sound.

"Hey does anyone else hear that?" Asked Serena

"Yeah and it's getting closer." Said Yuya

"And it sounds an awful lot like..." Before I could finish my sentence five duel runners came bursting onto the scene as they did a humanoid bird warrior with one black and one white wing holding a katana swooped in and cleared a path through security. After that each of us was grabbed by one of the riders.

"So were we just rescued or kidnapped because I can't tell."

The riders dropped us off at a modest looking house and then four of them left. The one who grabbed Yuya who seemed to be the leader got off his bike and took off his helmet. He had dark-grey eyes and orange hair restrained by a leather band with twin rings piercing it, as well as several criminal marks on his face, an "M" and a dot on his forehead, and a full-cheek line and triangle on each side of his face. His ears had piercings with bolts hanging from them. He wore a simple orange shirt and teal pants with knee pads. He also had a brown sleeveless vest over it and elbow length fingerless gloves, with studded bands strapped around his wrists and forearms, and heavily strapped tan boots.

"Well looks like we arrived just in time welcome to my little district of the Commons my name is Crow Hogan." The young man known as Crow said.

"Thanks for helping us Crow you're a real lifesaver." Said Yuya

"Hey Crow, not that we're not grateful for the help but why come to the aid of a bunch of strangers and risk capture yourself." I asked

"Ah I see we have a cautious one here. Well you see I saw your friend there trying to protect the kid and that made me want to help you guys. Anyone who stands up for someone who can't stand up for themselves is okay by me." Crow explained

"Yeah I get that." I said back

Just then a fair-skinned girl with blue eyes and puffy burgundy hair wearing a white long shirt accompanied with a dark pink vest with brown lines came out of the house.

"Welcome back Crow."

"Hey Amanda. Check it out I got tuna." Crow said entering the house.

"Yes I can finally make tuna sandwiches." The girl said in excitement

The girl then turned to us "Well come on in there is enough for everyone." She said inviting us in.

We decided to enter and have some of the sandwiches.

"Hey where are Frank and Tanner?" Asked Crow

"They went to the city saying that they wanted to help you for a change." Amanda answered

"Haha, is that right." Crow said unpacking the food

"So who are you guys anyway?" Asked Crow while chewing on a sandwich.

"Well you see-" as Yuya began explaining Sawatari cut him off

"I would also like to say thank you for saving us from those simple minded cops." Sawatari said shaking Crow's hand.

"Not really a good start to our day as we just got to this dimension."

"Wait a minute this dimension?" Said Crow clearly confused

"Yeah my name is Shingo Sawatari, an invincible duelist from Maiami City. The guy with the goggles is Yuya Sakkai, my disciple." As he said Yuya gave him an annoyed anime face.

"The blizzard haired wild child over there is Yuki Kōriryu and the strong-willed/thick headed woman is Serena they're both from entirely different dimensions." Sawatari finished

"Wild child?" I muttered

"Thick headed?" Serena also muttered

"Oh great I've rescued a bunch of crazy people."

"Actually it's all true." Said Yuya

"Seriously?" Crow responded

"I know I still don't believe it." I said

I then noticed Amanda staring at my arms

"H-Hey Yuki what happened to your arms?" Amanda asked in a nervous tone

"Nothing why."

"Yuki would you just take the gauntlets off before you scare someone." Said Yuya

"Alright fine." I begrudgingly undid the straps and remove the gauntlets.

"Why do you wear those thing anyway?" Asked Crow

"This why." I answered putting one of the gauntlets back on and materialized a Japanese katana.

"Woah those claw things make weapons." Said Amanda

"Correct people in my dimension have been able to use Arc technology to make weapons out of thin air. However, these are the only ones of their kind." I explained

"Why do you have the only pair?" Asked Serena

"Serena do you remember how I originally went Standard to eliminate Reiji."

"What about it?"

"Well you see I received my assassination, dueling and combat training at a place called Blood Vulture Academy. Where the art of assassination dueling was created." I explained

"And this is the awkward part. The Headmaster kinda thought that Reiji was working for Academia being the professor's son and all." I finished

"WAIT A MINUTE WHAT!" Screamed Yuya and Sawatari

"What you guys didn't know. Reiji rebels against his father and his plans on uniting the dimensions, whatever that is supposed to mean." I said

"And he told you and not us because?" Asked Sawatari

"For one thing to get me to stop attacking him probably the same reason he told Kurosaki."

"That reminds me the reason you were so hell bent on getting to Reiji was because you thought he had something to do with your friend Shina who resembles Serena being captured by Academia. Even though it is wrong to hurt people out of revenge." Yuya summarized

"Yup. And hey, I was upset! Much like how you were when Yuzu disappeared."

"How did you know about Yuzu beforehand anyway."

"I was watching the whole little drama on the bridge from a hidden place."

"This Shina must be really important to you." Said Sawatari changing the subject

"I guess."

"Kinda like a girlfriend." He said smirking as the Amanda laughed

"G-G-G-Girlfriend!" I stuttered with a red face

"Hahaha! Look at that, mister cold hearted assassin has a soft spot after all." Sawatari said laughing

I did not find this amusing.

"Sawatari, just FYI I have been trained in several forms of martial arts ranging from Tae Kwon Do, Karate, and Judo along with swordsmanship, archery, and the art of assassination as a whole." Yuki said in a threating tone, "In short I can kill you in eight different ways with or without my gauntlets."

"Message received; don't bug you about Shina right? Sawatari said nervously

As a response I put my arm on his shoulder and nodded.

"Hey Serena new rule when it comes to handling Yuki. Never press the Shina button." Yuya whispered

"Agreed." She responded

Just then two young boys came through the door. One had purple blue eyes and spiky green hair in which the ends are fixed in a small ponytail. He wore a light blue shirt with a red vest. The boy seemed younger, had a wider face wore blue overalls and had a hat that covered his hair. The pair placed a bunch of food on the table grinning, but Crow didn't seem that happy about it.

"Frank, Tanner. Where did you to get all this food?" Asked Crow

"We got it from a café." Said the green haired boy known as Frank as Tanner giggled

"What made you think it was okay for you to start stealing." Crow said in an annoyed tone

"We just wanted to help." Said Frank

"What's that gonna matter when it lands you both in the Facility."

"Those officers mentioned that. What is the Facility?" Asked Yuya

"A real Hell on Earth." Said Crow, when I heard that it reminded me of home.

"You see the city is divided into two groups; the Tops who live in luxury and have everything they could ever need. Then there are us Commons, who live in their shadow and live on whatever we can scrape up. And if you try to go against the system then Sector Security tracks you down, takes you to the Facility and marks you so that every knows that you've been there." Crow said pointing at the marks on his face.

"That's terrible." Said Yuya

"Yeah it is but nothing we can do about. All we can do now is survive and stick together but that doesn't justify stealing." As Crow continued talking Tanner spoke up.

"Hey, how did you two get here so fast?" He said to Yuya and Serena

"And have time to change your hair and clothes."

"Tanner don't interrupt." Said Crow

"Weren't you two just at the café?" Asked Frank

"They must have seen Yuzu." Said Serena

"Yeah and the other one must have been Yugo." Said Yuya

"This café where is it?" Asked Serena

The children backed off a little frightened, then Crow stepped in front of them.

"Guys what is going on?" Crow asked

"They saw our friends and we must find them." Said Yuya

"Security is looking for all of you now. You go out in the city they'll find you."

"So I'll go look for them." Crow finished

-TIMESKIP NONE'S POV-

"Crow sure is taking a while I wonder if I should of gone with him." Yuki said

As we waited Tanner and Frank told us about Turbo Dueling and how it was started by a couple of Commons who just wanted to have fun.

"To us Commons turbo duels were a source of freedom. The Tops always keep us down but when Commons got on their runners all of their problems went away. But the Tops didn't like that very much, saying that Turbo Duels were a menace to the peace of New Domino City."

"So the Tops hate it when the Commons have fun or try to enjoy life." Yuki commented

"Pretty much. So a special unit of Securities was formed called the Duel Chasers to hunt these Turbo Duelists and lock them up in the Facility."

"Just for dueling. When my father becomes mayor he'll put a st-OOW!" Yuki interrupted Sawatari by punching him in the stomach.

"Ow! What was that for Yuki?!"

"Your father isn't going to become mayor of this city so don't get the kids' hopes up for nothing." Yuki said in a quiet voice

"I guess you're right."

"Security doesn't just take people." Crow said entering the house with bags full of food cans. "Security and those Tops bastards took turbo dueling away from us too."

"So no one's doing it anymore?" Asked Sawatari

"Well not for fun at least. Now we're forced to turbo duel for the Tops' amusement."

"What do you mean?" Asked Yuya

"Yeah how do you force someone to turbo duel?" Asked Yuki

"If you're chased on the highway by a Duel Chaser the roads get changed into duel exclusive combat lanes. Then they broadcast the match on live T.V. Even though turbo duels were a way for us to forget about our problems and stick it the Tops it has just become entertainment for them now. So if you want to avoid public humiliation and being imprisoned I suggest laying low." Crow finished

"So is that why you returned with your tail between your legs." Serena said with an antagonizing tone "Because Security scares you."

"What was that!?" Crow said clearly in anger

"Oh dear this won't end well." Yuki thought

"Serena, Crow has done a lot for us already! You can't just-" But as Yuya was talking Serena cut him off

"But he hasn't gotten us any information on Yuzu's whereabouts." Serena stated "If you want something done do it yourself. I'll go and find Yuzu myself."

But as Serena came to the door Yuki stood in her way.

"Out of my way assassin." She said glaring at Yuki fiercely

"Don't think so." He said back with a glare of his own

"The longer we stay here the more time Academia has to capture Yuzu."

"True but the more we move around the more opportunities Sector Security has to capture all of us."

"It's not just Yuzu we need to find allies to fight Academia."

"Good luck with that if you wind up in the Facility. Also I would rather not have to be the guy who has to explain to Reiji why you got arrested and why we would then have to bust you out."

"So you don't care if Yuzu gets captured!?"

"Personally, I don't care what happens to a complete stranger like Yuzu. The only reason I joined the lancers was because this was the best chance available to rescue Shina."

Serena was about to lash out at Yuki but he spoke up again. "However, I do understand how Yuya feels about all this."

"Huh?" Serena says taken off guard

"Shina is a friend who is precious to me and I can tell that Yuzu is precious to Yuya. Yet despite this Yuya is playing it safe and staying put because he doesn't want to put the rest of us at risk. And just us, Crow would probably also get arrested for harboring fugitives and the kids would be all on their own. Do you really want that on your conscience?"

"Well no but we can't just do nothing."

"If you're still wanting to go off that I think we can settle this through other means."

"What does that mean?"

"Meaning we duel. I win you do what I say and stay put if you win you can do whatever you want. How does that sound?"

"Alright Yuki I think it's about time someone put you in your place."

The two duelists stepped outside and readied their duel disks.

"Last chance to surrender Serena."

"I would never give up on my honor as a duelist by running away from a challenge."

(Action Field On: Crossover)

DUEL!

Yuki: (LP: 4000) (hand: 5) (field: 0)

Serena: (LP: 4000) (hand: 5) (field: 0)

"Hey Yuya who do you think will win, Yuki or Serena?" Asked Crow

"Tough to say from what I can tell. Both of them have aggressive fighting styles but that is really the only similarity I know of."

"Well I guess we'll soon find out." Said Sawatari

"It's my turn first." Said Serena "And to start I'll activate the spell Polymerization and fuse the Lunalight Blue Cat with the Lunalight Purple Butterfly." Blue Cat along with Purple Butterfly swirled together into a vortex as Serena began to chant.

"The cat that prowls in the azure darkness and the butterfly that wields poison. Swarm in the vortex of the moons gravity and revive with a new power! YUGO (FUSION) SHOUKAN! Show yourself, the beautiful beast dancing in the moonlight! Lunalight Cat Dancer!"

From the vortex a new cat themed monster emerged. The female figure had long red hair, a blue dress that resembled that of a dancer's and holding two daggers.

(Lunalight Cat Dancer: LVL 7/BEAST-WARRIOR/FUSION/DARK/ATK 2400/DEF 2000)

"That's the same monster she used on security. Well let's see how it stands up to my Frozen Hunters."

"Cat Dancer can't be destroyed in battle so just try an take it down. I place a card face down and end my turn."

Yuki: (LP: 4000) (hand: 5) (field: 0)

Serena: (LP: 4000) (hand: 1) (field: 2)

"Not a problem, I draw! First thing I'll do is put some of my decks latest additions to the test."

"Does he mean?" Said Yuya

"I set the Pendulum Scale with Scale 1 Frozen Hunter Snow Crest Fairy and Scale 7 Frozen Hunter Snow Crest Gargoyle!"

As Yuki did two blue pillars of light appeared either side of him. On the left side was a small fairy wearing an ice blue dress. She had red eyes, blue hair and four wings made of ice. In the other pillar was a gargoyle with jagged ice like wings. It had soulless yellow eyes, was completely blue and was holding a halberd made of ice.

Frozen Hunter Snow Crest Fairy: (WATER/FAIRY/Pendulum/LVL 2/Scale 1/ATK 600/DEF 1000)

Frozen Hunter Snow Crest Gargoyle: (WATER/FIEND/Pendulum/LVL 5/Scale 7/ATK 2000/DEF 2000)

"So those are the pendulum monsters Reiji gave him." Said Yuya

"I can now summon monsters from levels 2 through 6 simultaneously! Powers of life and death. Become the driving force that smashes through the obstacles before me! Pendulum Shōukan! Arise my monsters! Frozen Hunter Snowfall Swordsman, Frozen Hunter Crystal Archer, and Frozen Hunter Glacial Chimera!" As Yuki finished his chant three monsters appeared from the portal above him. First was young man wielding two snow white swords. He had white hair and a matching cloak along with a grey armored vest and matching pants. Next was a girl with blue hair and a white cloak with a hood that seemed to hide cat ears. She also had blue cat like eyes. On her back was a large ice bow. Finally, there was a beast with ice blue fur. It had large bat wings, the face of a sabretooth tiger with antelope horns and three snakes heads that acted like tails. The beast also had glowing ice blue eyes.

Frozen Hunter Snowfall Swordsman: (WATER/WARRIOR/LVL 4/ATK 1800/DEF 1000)

Frozen Hunter Crystal Archer: (WATER/WARRIOR/LVL 3/ATK 1200/DEF 900)

Frozen Hunter Glacial Chimera: (WATER/BEAST/Pendulum/LVL 5/Scale 3/ATK 2100/DEF 1000)

"He summoned three monsters at once!" Said Frank

"Pendulum summoning? What is that?" Asked Crow

"It's a new summoning method that was founded in our dimension. But this is Yuki's first time using pendulum cards. I wonder how he will utilize them." Said Yuya

"Yeah none of those monsters are strong enough to destroy Cat Dancer." Said Sawatari

"I activate Snowfall Swordsman's effect; once per turn in exchange for not being able to attack this turn my swordsman can switch your monster into DEF mode and that monster's mode cannot be changed during your next turn." As Yuki explained the effect his swordsman stuck both of his swords into the ground and caused a stream of spikes made of ice to rise from the ground heading straight for Cat Dancer. Once they reached the target Serena's fusion monster was trapped in a pillar of ice switching it into DEF mode.

"So your plan is to put my monster into a more vulnerable position and then destroy it with Chimera. Too bad my monster can't be destroyed in battle."

"And too bad for you that's not my plan. I activated Crystal Archer's effect; up to twice per turn my archer can destroy a monster that is in DEF mode and then inflict 500 points of damage to the card's controller. And of course the target is Cat Dancer."

With that Crystal Archer fired an ice arrow that destroyed Cat Dancer's frozen form.

Serena: (LP: 4000-500=3500)

"Damn." Cursed Serena

"With your monster gone I can now activate the effects of both Swordsman and Chimera. First Chimera's effect since your DEF position monster was destroyed it gains 500 ATK until my next Standby phase. And Swordsman's effect lets me draw a card." Yuki explained as he drew a card.

Frozen Hunter Glacial Chimera: (ATK 2100+500=2600)

"All that from one monster destruction!" Said Yuya

"He's strong." Said Crow

"Pfft please I could've done better than that." Scoffed Sawatari

"So this is how an assassin duels." Said Serena

"That is the way of the Frozen Hunters. Freeze the enemy in their tracks and strike with brutal force. Weakening the target is one of the basic steps of assassination." Yuki explained

"But enough about that. I think you should be more concerned with the fact that I can end this duel right on this turn."

Serena only gritted her teeth in response.

"BATTLE! Crystal Archer attack Serena directly!" Said monster readied an arrow

"I activate the trap: Moonlight Reborn! This card allows me to bring back Lunalight Cat Dancer!" The fusion monster returned and Archer stopped her attack.

"Fine then! Chimera attack!" Glacial Chimera leapt at Cat Dancer.

"My monster can't be destroyed in battle." Serena remined Yuki

"But you still take damage."

Serena: (LP: 3500-200=3300)

"Not bad Serena if it wasn't for that trap card it would have been over right then and there. However, you were going to use that card on your next turn weren't you?"

"Grr." Was all Serena said

"What's he talking about?" Said Tanner

"I think I know." Said Yuya

"Me too." Said Crow

"Allow me to explain you were going to use Moonlight Reborn to bring back the Lunalight Blue Cat in your graveyard to double Cat Dancer's ATK and then tribute it to cover the activation cost of Cat Dancers effect. Am I right?" As Yuki finished Serena just gritted her teeth.

"How could Yuki know all that?" Asked Sawatari

"He must of remember all that from when Serena was dueling Security remember she did the same thing there." Yuya recalled

"He saw through my strategy after seeing me duel one time." Serena thought clearly taken off guard

"Just end your turn already." She ordered

"Sorry but I'm not out of moves yet. I activate the spell Blizzard Draw! This spell has two different effects to choose from; I can either discard a Frozen Hunter from my hand and draw two cards or I can draw cards equal to the number of Frozen Hunters on my field that have different names. Since I've got three different Frozen Hunters I draw three cards." Yuki explained as he drew his cards.

"I place one card face down and end my turn."

Yuki: (LP: 4000) (hand: 3) (field: 6)

Serena: (LP: 3300) (hand: 1) (field: 1)

"All those moves and he still has three cards in his hand. Yuki really is strong." Said Crow

"He reduced Serena's LP, summoned three monsters, and picked apart her strategy all in one turn. Man I'd hate to think what it be like if Yuki was our enemy." Said Yuya

"My turn I draw!"

"I activate the spell Fusion Recovery. With I target 1 "Polymerization", and 1 Fusion Material that was used for a Fusion Summon, in my Graveyard; add them to my hand. The monster I choose to add is Lunalight Purple Butterfly. Now I activate Polymerization and fuse Cat Dancer and Purple Butterfly. The beautiful beast dancing in the moonlight! Butterfly that wields violet poison! Swarm in the vortex of moon's gravity and become a new power! Fusion Summon! Come forth! Elegant beast dancing in the moonlit wilderness! Lunalight Panther Dancer!" Form the vortex emerged a shadowed figure jumped in front of the moon, faint laughing chuckles heard as she stepped out from the shadows as an anthropomorphic panther lady appeared with tanned skin, her black hair covering her eyes as she word a bustier with a large dark pink sash and she wielded rather large crimson red claws .

(Lunalight Panther Dancer: LVL 8/BEAST-WARRIOR/FUSION/DARK/ATK 2800/DEF 2500)

"Impressive." Said Yuki

"My Panther Dancer can attack all your monsters but can't destroy them on the first attack however since she can attack them all twice means I've got enough fire power to win the duel on this turn."

"Not good." Yuki said

"Panther Dancer attack Crystal Archer." Panther Dancer did a double attack on Crystal Archer destroying it and severely draining Yuki's LP.

Yuki: (LP: 4000-1600=2400-1600=800)

"Since I destroyed your monster Panther Dancer gains 200 ATK

"Now to attack another monster."

"Don't think so I activate my trap. Glacier Wall! With this card when one of my Frozen Hunters gets destroyed I won't take any damage for the rest of this turn."

"True but Panther Dancer can still destroy all your monsters." Selena's fusion monster destroyed all of Yuki monsters and declared her turn to be over

Yuki: (LP: 800) (hand: 3) (field: 2)

Serena: (LP: 3300) (hand: 1) (field: 1)

"Alright now or never. I DRAW!" As Yuki looked at the card he drew he cracked a smile

"First using my pendulum scale I pendulum summon again! Revive from my extra deck Frozen Hunter Glacial Chimera and from my hand Frozen Hunter Hati! A dark blue wolf pup with red markings under its yellow eyes and icicles sticking out of portions of it fur coat appeared along with the ice blue chimera from before. "When Hati is summoned I can add one ritual spell from my deck to my hand thanks to its effect. So I add Frozen Ritual to my hand."

"Wait a minute Seren destroyed that Chimera." Said Amanda

"Glacial Chimera is a Pendulum monster when it was destroyed it got sent to Yuya's extra deck where Yuki could pendulum summon it back to the field." Yuya explained

"Isn't that a little too powerful?" Asked Frank

"Actually there are several ways to counter it."

"I now activate Frozen Ritual allowing me to sacrifice Hati and Chimera. Wolf that chases the moon and fused creature of the frozen plains become the sacrifices to awaken a great and destructive power. RITUAL SHOUKAN! APPEAR! Relentless dragon that brings forth the frozen Ragnarök! ARCTIC ZERO RITUAL DRAGON!" After a sudden blizzard engulfs Hati and Chimera that then went into an upward spiral a large two legged dragon with blue ice like scales appears in their place. It had two jagged snow white wings and razor sharp crystal claws with a blue sword like tail. In the center of its chest is a light blue gem. The scales on its head are a more whitish blue the rest of the scales on its body. Its eyes where golden yellow, it also had a backwards pointed horn and a row of spikes running down its neck all the way to its tail.

(Arctic Zero Ritual Dragon: Level: 7/ATK: 2500/DEF: 2000/Dragon/Ritual/Water)

"So that's Yuki's dragon." Yuya said in awe

"So cool." The three kids said in unison

"And now I'll activate a spell you might now the equip spell Frozen Blades Nightcrackle and I'm equipping it on to my dragon." As Yuki did this a large ice blue sword appeared on both of Arctic Zeros wrists.

"Arctic Zero Ritual Dragon attack Lunalight Panther Dancer! Battle! At this moment Arctic Zero's effect activates all enemy monsters are switched into DEF mode and their DEF points are then cut in half, GO FREEZING CURSE!" Yuki exclaimed upon doing this Arctic Zero flapped its wings and summoned a blizzard that froze the Serena's monster solid.

(Lunalight Panther Dancer: DEF 2500/2=1250)

And he then added "Also my dragon inflicts piercing damage." Then streams of snow swirled together in the mouth of Yuki's dragon as the gem in its chest glowed right before it fired a giant ice laser. "Roaring Glacier Blast!" The dragon's attack destroyed Serena's monster.

Serena: (LP: 3300-1250=2150)

"I now activate Nightcrackle's effect to deal you damage equal to your monster's level times 200."

The two blades fired off a blue laser that blasted Serena.

Serena: (LP: 2150-1600=550)

"And now my dragon's finally effect activates."

"Wait there's more." Said Serena

"Yup. When my dragon destroys level 5 or higher monster the opponent takes 1000 points of damage."

Arctic Zero spread its wing and hundreds on ice shard appeared out of thin air.

"Go Crystal Bombardment!"

With that the ice shard rained down on Serena ending the duel

Serena: (LP: 550-1000=0)

YUKI WIN

Yuki walked over to Serena who was kneeling on the floor. He then crouched down to her level.

"You dueled well but the way you play is too much by the book."

"No need to taunt me Yuki you already won."

"I'm not that's me trying to be helpful but if you're going act surprised I won't do it again. Now as per our agreement you won't go off on your own and risk everyone's safety."

"I swore on my honor as a duelist and I will not go back on it."

"Good enough. Well I'm tired and it's late, I'm going to bed." With that Yuki fell asleep on a small couch by the table."

"Did he really just fall asleep that fast?" Said Sawatari

"Yes he did and I think Yuki's got the right idea it's been a long day for all of us time for some shut eye." Said Crow

With that everyone went to sleep.

-A FEW HOURS LATER-

Yuki woke up and found himself in what appeared to be outer space except everything was blue instead of black but there were still stars.

"Okay where am I now?"

"Yuki is that you!?" Yuki turned and saw Yuya but there was another boy with him. He wore a punk-style outfit, with a dull green formal shirt and dark blue tie, as well as a black cape-like garment with ripped sleeves and edges plus dark blue pants and black boot-like shoes. Like Yuya, the boy also wore a choker.

"Hey Yuya who is this?"

"Name's Yuto." Said the boy in question

"Okay next question; WHERE THE HELL ARE WE!?"

"Good question." Answered Yuto

"Perhaps we can shed some light on the subject." Said a mysterious voice

The boys turned and saw Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, and Arctic Zero Ritual Dragon.

"Odd-Eyes!"

"Dark Rebellion!"

"Arctic Zero!" The three boys said to their respective dragons.

"Time for a little catch up." The dragon's said in unison
